Should all our relationships be real?

I have been meeting a lot of people who are ready for ‘not-so-real’ relationships from the word ‘go’. Not affairs, these associations are more meaningful than that. Yet, no strings attached and no promises made. These relationships can be summed up as fun and make-both-happy momentary types, even a little bit of love. This is obviously unethical in the relationship sense, but what makes this okay to the people in them? What is it that we are so starved for that makes this acceptable and something that we even ‘desire’ sometimes? Given the facts that… One or both of them in this relationship already have one solid relationship in the bag and acknowledge that. Could it be jus the attraction? Or the possibility of settling for something rather than nothing? Or maybe the option that the two people don’t want to/ cannot take too long a walk together for various reasons. Does such a relationship show terribly bad character? And what happens when this momentary relationship takes a hurtful turn - hurt to either one of them in the relationship or to someone outside of it. Should there be a hurt-proof way of doing this and…. What happens if a lot of good does come of such an unreal relationship?
